The Tight White Collar (28 page)

Lisa looked straight into Chris's eyes just as they were passing the sign that said, YOU ARE NOW LEAVING COOPER STATION. PLEASE COME AGAIN.

“No, darling,” she said and squeezed his arm. “I'm not sorry about one single thing.”

Grace Metalious
was an American author who is best known for her scandalous yet highly successful novel, Peyton Place, which shocked Eisenhower-era America with its depiction of the sexual, class, and ethnic tensions roiling beneath the peaceful surface of a small New England mill town.

Financially secure for the first time in her life, Metalious embraced a lavish lifestyle and continued to write, producing three more novels including Return to Peyton Place, The Tight White Collar, and No Adam in Eden. After years of heavy drinking, a troubled Metalious succumbed to cirrhosis of the liver in 1964.
